"Little Smart Wandering in the Future" is my first science fiction novel, written in the fall of 1961, when I was 21 years old and still attending Peking University. It was not published at the time. After 17 years in the dust, in 1978, the Spring of Science was published by the Children's Publishing House and 1.5 million copies were printed, and the four versions of the comic strip based on the book were also printed in a total of 1.5 million copies, making it a "super bestseller".
"Little Voice" set three records:
"Little Voice" has a circulation of 3 million copies, and still ranks first in China's science fiction novels:
"Little Voice" has won many awards: in 1980, it was awarded the National Children's Literary and Artistic Creation Award, the highest award for children's literature creation in China.
In 2002, it won the 13th China Book Award: the cell phone named "Little Voice" now has 100 million subscribers.
After writing Little Smart Phone Roaming the Future in 1961, a sequel, Little Smart Phone Roaming the Future Again, was written in 1984, and Little Smart Phone Roaming the Future Three Times in 2000. These three works show the three-dimensional picture of the future world from multiple angles and in all directions through what the bright-eyed reporter Little Smart has seen and heard during his three visits to the future city. It can be said that these three works depict a scroll full of details - the "Qingming Shanghe Tu" of the future world. Works that present the future in such a comprehensive and graphic way are unique among many Chinese science fiction novels.
In 2000, the Children's and Youth Publishing House combined "Little Smarter Wanderings into the Future," "Little Smarter Wanderings into the Future Again," and "Little Smarter Wanderings into the Future" into a single volume, publishing "The New Edition of Little Smarter Wanderings into the Future," and holding book signings in sixteen cities across the country, which quickly sold out. On August 5, 2005, the Nanjing Morning Post published a report written by reporter Zhu Haiyong, "Who's got (Xiaolingtong roaming the future)", reflecting that Mr. Liu, a reader in Nanjing, has always wanted to buy a copy of "Xiaolingtong roaming the future" but has not been able to get the book after searching all over the city of Nanjing.
In order to meet the needs of the majority of readers, the Children's and Teenagers' Publishing House has decided to launch another edition of "Little Smart Traveling in the Future" in 2006. This time, the publication of "Little Smart Wanderer" is divided into two volumes, namely, "Collection Edition" and "Latest Edition". The "Collector's Edition" includes "SmarTone Roaming in the Future" and "SmarTone Roaming in the Future Again", while the "Latest Edition" includes "SmarTone Three Roaming in the Future". Both the "Collector's Edition" and the "Latest Edition" include new appendices to help readers understand more about the historical background of "Little Voice of the Future".
The new appendix "A Prophet's Pleasure" is added to the "Collector's Edition", which provides detailed "proof" of the many instances in which many of the scientific prophecies in the 1961 book were confirmed by later science and technology, and is accompanied by The "latest edition" is accompanied by photographs of the real thing. The appendix of the "latest edition", "The History of the Creation of (SmarTone Roaming in the Future)", provides a detailed review of more than 40 years of "SmarTone Roaming in the Future".
""Dreams of the Future"--Answer to CCTV Host Bai Yansong" is a dialog between the author and Bai Yansong about "Xiaolingtong Roaming in the Future"; "Xiaolingtong" Becoming a Famous Trademark for Mobile Phones" tells the interesting story of Little Smart's transformation from a small reporter to a famous trademark for cell phones; and "In the Eyes of the Readers (Little Smart Wandering in the Future)" contains the interesting memories of many old readers of Little Smart Wandering in the Future about this book.
In addition, Mr. Du Jianguo, a famous cartoonist in Shanghai, was invited to illustrate Little Smart Roaming in the Future -- he had drawn beautiful illustrations for Little Smart Roaming in the Future and Little Smart Roaming in the Future in 1978 and 1984 respectively, and he has taken up the brush again for Little Smart Roaming in the Future this time. I would like to express my gratitude. I was trained by the Children's and Young People's Publishing House, and when I sent my first book manuscript to the house in 1959 at the age of nineteen, it was enthusiastically approved, and not only did it quickly publish my first book, but it also commissioned me to write for Hundred Thousand Wonders in 1960, which made me one of the youngest authors to have written more than one book in the first edition of Hundred Thousand Wonders. Over the past forty years, the Children's and Teenagers' Publishing House has maintained a good working relationship with me, even though the leadership and editors have changed several times. On the occasion of the publication of the "Collector's Edition" and the "Latest Edition" of "Little Smart Wanderer", I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Children's and Teenagers' Publishing House for its help and support over the years!
